Cake Care

A few simple steps so your cake tastes as good as the moment it left our kitchen.

Getting it home

  1. Keep it flatPlace the box on a flat surface, like the car floor or trunk, not on a seat.
  2. Keep it coolAvoid direct sun and warm cars. Head straight home if you can.
  3. Into the fridgeRefrigerate your cake until about two hours before serving.

Serving

  1. Let it come to room temperatureTake buttercream cakes out of the fridge one to two hours before serving, so the frosting turns silky and soft.
  2. Use a warm knifeDip a long knife in hot water and wipe it dry between each cut for clean slices.
  3. Cut tall, thin slicesSlice the cake in half, then cut thin slices from the center.

Storing leftovers

Cover cut edges with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Enjoy within 3 to 4 days, letting each slice warm up a little before eating.

Cupcakes keep best in an airtight container in the fridge.
